Cut (Japanese: いあいぎり Iai Cut) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is HM01 in all generations so far.
Effect
In battle
Cut inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.
Outside of battle
Generations I to III
A Pokémon using Cut can remove a certain type of tree, which acts as an obstacle between the player and their destination. It can also be used to cut tall grass. In Pokémon Emerald, a Pokémon with Hyper Cutter can cut a larger area of tall grass around the user.
Generation IV onwards
Cut no longer removes tall grass. In Generation VI, the small trees from previous games are replaced with thorn-covered bushes (as described when checking said shrubbery).

Trivia
- In Generation I, if the player saves and exits the game standing on a previously cut tree, once the game is continued, the player will be standing on the tree that was previously cut. The same can be done with Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow. In Celadon Gym in Yellow, the same effect can also happen with Pikachu after certain battles.
- Cut is not required to complete Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald, or their remakes.
- The Japanese name of Cut, いあいぎり Iai Cut, refers to iaido, a Japanese martial art. Specifically, it refers to the technique of drawing a blade from its scabbard, cutting down the opponent, then re-sheathing the blade.
- Cut was the first HM move featured in the anime.
